MAG154 - #0082107 │ Bloody Mary

clever

HE QUIT?!

...fxck.

splendid joke, Martin, proud of you

ohno

nonono

I know this

I know the rules

once one of them asks to run away together, they're doomed

DOOMED

I've been shipping The Gays (as if I'm not A Gay, lmao) long enough to know that at least

take it back John, I want you to be happy 😭

I was trying to go to sleep but Johnny Sims decided to give me the sads over Gerry Keay and his dad, who literally gauged his eyes out for his baby boy, only to be murdered by his wife who wanted his skin as a page in her book. Like how messed up is that? He just wanted to be a good father to his kid.

And to make things even worse, the person he tells all this to ends up doing the same damn thing to the kid he mutilated himself for. WTAF, Johnny? WTAF?

[incandescent-creativity]

Someone figured out how to quit??? No wonder the Eye didn’t want Jon listening to this one.

[euxellis]

if i had a dollar every time two men were alone together and the bi one said some variation of “lets leave everything behind and run away together” and then got rejected id have at least 3 dollars

A thing I love about Gertrude Robinson:

Though she is technically an Avatar of the Eye (per her job contract and her supernatural abilities), she is fundamentally a "pandeific" being.

We get reminded over and over and over how aligned she is with other entities.

The Web:

Annabelle Cane in MAG147, "The Weaver"

Gertrude Robinson, described by Michael in MAG101, "Another Twist"

Gertrude Robinson, talking to Arthur Nolan in MAG145, "Infectious Doubts"

Let's continue with those two episodes--she's Desolation and Spiral as well as Web

MAG145:

(not to mention that she survived binding herself to Agnes, and during that ritual her "lungs try to burn [her] alive from the inside out," and that she just overall has quite an affinity for fire and explosions)

MAG101

Eric Delano confirms her willingness to lie as well in MAG154

The Dark

The common symbol of The Dark (or at least Maxwell Raynor's cult) is a closed eye; in hiding from Elias, she too takes on that aspect of the Dark

MAG054, "Still Life"

The Lonely

This one, Jon says outright in MAG167, "Curiosity"

The Corruption

And I think that leads to her affinity with the more "metaphysical" aspects of the Corruption. This one doesn't have as obvious evidence, but understanding that the Corruption covers toxic relationships (MAG160.02), relationships where one being is used up by another, then what else characterizes even her most positive and genuine relationship?

(MAG111 "Family Business" and MAG137 "Nemesis")

That covers 7 out of the 14. I gotta think more about the last 7, but she definitely became enmeshed in so many parts of the Fears

[wwpbviiid]

Thinking about the parallels between MAG111 Family Business and MAG154 Bloody Mary.

“It hurts. Being like this.” / “It hurts, most of the time. I don’t like it.”

“But with the last vestige of his stubborn will, he refused. She would not claim his last moment.” / “I don’t want to disappear on her terms.”

“I think… I think I’m ready to go.” / “I think I’d like to go away now.”

Gerry refusing to tell Jon about how to stop the Unknowing until he agrees to burn his page / Eric refusing to tell Gertrude how he quit until she agreed to take care of Gerry and let him give a statement

[cold-canned-coffee]

jon and martin’s “fuck” and “fuck off” in mag154 are so precious to me.

wow jon really said now let me reenact The good omens let's run away scene huh

and martin’s response,,,, “what you want is a reason to not do those things, so you come to me” Okay so i have reevaluated and come to a conclusion that i apparently do Not need my heart they can have it

andandand eric calling gerard gerry!!!

[cherrifire]

I thought in TMA you can't quit? Or had to go blind to do so. Or is it different here.

In TMA there are 2 ways for an Archival employee to quit:

If the employee were to blind themselves. [MAG154 - Bloody Mary]

If the Archivist were to die [MAG167 - Curiosity]
